About the 5 0 sweep. I sometimes try it after a failed electric chair, but it's not my go to sweep. There's something in mts about the grip you use when getting his arm pinned to his back. To me, that made a significant difference. Your arm that goes around his back to hold his arm when you get it there, the palm of that hand has to be facing up, not down. Because otherwise he can pull his arm free more easily.
I hope that makes sense. Translating moves to words can be hard. Those names really come in handy. Just the name 5 0 sweep says a lot more about the move than what I just did.
